Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of laser ranging system, especially can measure the laser ranging system of multiple spot distance in real time.

In current laser range finder, the method for measurement target object distance mainly by LASER Light Source Emission Lasers pulse signal, and obtains the distance of target object from the time delay of the laser pulse echoed signal of reflections off objects by measurement.Due to metering circuit and the echoed signal contrast circuit more complicated of laser pulse signal, the laser ranging therefore for multiple spot often adopts the mode of point by point scanning to carry out.Such as described in patent (application number 200310113300.2), laser range finder is arranged on rotatable platform, and rotatable platform carries out scanning by motor-driven rotation and finds range.And patent (application number 200910233655.2) adopts and is contained on rotatable platform by target object, rotatable platform can spiral, thus realizes the point by point scanning to target object.
The topmost shortcoming of point by point scanning range finding is that Measuring Time is long, and in order to shorten Measuring Time, simultaneously general idea adopts hyperchannel to measure.Such as described in patent (application number 201410387283.X), the laser echo signal that target object reflects by the fiber array of one dimension is adopted to be coupled to respectively in different fiber, utilize Optical Fiber Transmission to photodetector array, then the echoed signal recorded by photodetector array sends into signal processing unit, contrast echo time delay one by one, thus measure the range information of multiple points of one dimension.Then utilize electric platforms, line by line scan, thus obtain the three-dimensional information of target.Although adopt and compare point by point scanning in this way and improve measuring speed, because photoelectronic detecting array is expensive, complex process, counting that often row gathers is very limited, and therefore resolution is not high.If raising resolution, then need to carry out Multiple-Scan to each row.And adopt electric platforms to line by line scan due to needs, make Measuring Time or long, real-time measurement cannot be realized.
Another approach of range finding adopts computer binocular vision system.Simultaneously so-called binocular vision system utilizes two cameras side by side to take a picture to target object, utilizes the difference between two photos, and on calculating target object, each point is to the angle of two cameras, thus can calculate the distance of each point distance camera on target object.The advantage of vision system is easy to realize real-time sampling.But the shortcoming of vision system also clearly, described in patent (application number 200310113300.2), in order to determine the same impact point in two photos, need to solve whole image, calculated amount is very large, cannot realize real-time measurement.
According to news report (bright net, on May 24th, 2014, exercise question: " experience is taken advantage of in Google's pilotless automobile examination: all too has been saved worry! "), the pilotless automobile of Google's exploitation have employed four laser radars for detection, in order to improve detection efficiency, employ more than 150 laser sensors, about 70,000 dollars of total price, considerably beyond the total price of general vehicle.Therefore, the multiple spot real time laser range radar that development is cheap is current very urgent Science & Technology Demands.

The technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems is: on the platform of laser radar, installs some cameras and several laser source system.Camera is all connected with computing machine with LASER Light Source, can be controlled to carry out taking pictures, making a video recording and Emission Lasers by computing machine.For ensureing that search coverage is without dead angle, needs the whole measured zone of visual field combined covering of all cameras.In order to improve measuring accuracy, the method that the visual field of two or more camera overlaps in target area can be adopted.As without the need to very high precision, the visual field of each camera also can not overlap.Laser source system comprises the beam splitting system of laser instrument and lens, diffraction system composition.The installation requirement of laser source system is as camera, and all combination of light sources can the measured zone at coverage goal place.When a measurement is taken, control LASER Light Source send laser by computing machine, laser is divided into the dot matrix of several points by beam splitting system.After laser dot-matrix is radiated at measured zone, target object reflects, to be taken pictures the laser dot-matrix information obtained on target object by camera.Then by computer disposal, utilize two-dimensional position information and the depth information of each point on trigonometric calculations target object, thus realize the laser ranging of real-time multiple spot.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows, positional information and the depth information of multiple point can be measured simultaneously, mechanical moving element can not be comprised, structure is simple, can accomplish that volume is little, lightweight, and there is no complicated algorithm, can realize real-time sampling to measure, and can adopt cheap semiconductor laser light resource and camera, overall cost is very low.
